Description

This was an experiment late in galaxy season to try to pack as many galaxies into the field as possible. M106 -- the spiral in the upper right -- is the main attraction but I count at least five others in the frame.

Brighter than usual lighting from neighbors' yards played havoc with this, causing the wavy and doughnut-like patterns that you may notice.

Looking forward to Virgo's reappearance and trying to capture a field full of galaxies next year.
